A/N: The first couple of Chapters may be 'hard' for some to read so please bear with me, it will be over before too long, I promise.
******* WARNING *******
This Chapter will involve some abuse and attempted rape. However NO RAPE will take place
Callie's POV
So I'm sitting here on the side of the road, my car is smoking and won't start. This is just a perfect way to end a perfect fucking day. I should've stayed in bed this morning because there's no possible way for this day to get any worse.
Earlier in the day
I wake up and reach over for my girlfriend and all I find is cold sheets. I crawl out of bed and go looking for her. I find her in the kitchen drinking coffee.
"Morning, how long have you been up?"
"Morning, I've been up for a while. Callie, I think we need to talk"
"Oh, that doesn't sound good"
"It's not. I'm not happy"
"EXCUSE ME? What the hell is that supposed to mean? I packed my life and my daughter's life up and moved here to be with you and NOW you're telling me you're NOT happy? Are you fucking serious right now?"
"Yes I am. I'm working so much, we don't spend time together between my job and yours and Sofia starting school. It's like we're living together as roommates, not lovers. Callie, can you honestly tell me you're happy with this?"
"Yes I am."
"Really? Somehow I don't believe you"
"Okay, so what are you telling me?"
"I'm telling you I'm not happy and I think we need to break up now before we bring each other down more than we already have"
"So you're breaking up with me? Really what am I supposed to do now? I don't know anyone in this city"
"You and Sofia can keep this apartment, I'll move out"
"This can't be fucking happening right now"
"I'm so sorry Callie. I think this is for the best"
Present Time
So here I sit on the side of the road, broke down and replaying my day over in my head and now I also have no cell service. This is just perfect!
I see lights in my rear view mirror and hope it's someone who can help me. I get out of my car and wave them down. The truck pulls over behind my car and I thank god for this person. The man gets out of the truck and comes up to my car.
"Evening Miss, are you having problems?"
"Yes, I don't know what happened, the smoke just started bellowing out of the engine hood"
"Let's take a look, can you pop the hood for me?"
I lean into the car and pop the hood for the gentleman. I lean back out and walk over to the hood and peek inside to see what he can find out.
"Do you know what's wrong with it?"
"Yeah it looks like it's just overheating. I think I have some water in my truck, let's see if that works"
"Oh God, thank you so much Mr. ?"
"You can call me Charlie."
"Thank you Charlie"
Charlie goes back to his truck to find water and I look up to the heavens and thank god it was nothing too major. He comes back and pours the water in to cool the car down.
"It should only take a few minutes for the water to cycle through for you. In the meantime, how about I go about collecting my 'reward' for helping you fix the issue?"
"And what reward would you like for helping me?" As he steps closer to me, I think I get what he wants. OH GOD NO NOT THAT!
"Oh I think you know exactly what I want" As he runs his fingertips down my cheek.
"You and I are going to have so much fun darling'"
"That's not going to happen Charlie; sorry but you are so far from my type"
Next thing I know he swings his fist and it connects with the side of my face. I am on the ground. Holding onto the side of my face with my hand I look up to him.
"What the fuck? What are you doing?" I yell at him
"I see a very attractive woman broke down on the side of the road, offer her assistance and now I'm collecting my 'reward' for helping her I told you."
"Excuse me? I also told you that's not happening."
"Oh darling, but it is!"
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME"
"Not till I get my reward"
God this cannot be happening to me today. And today has already been shitty enough. I cannot let him do this to me. I have to find a way to get at least some control over this situation.
"Charlie, you are hurting me, please stop"
"This won't take long darling"
He rips open my shirt and paws at my breasts. I swing my hands wildly out trying to hit him. I have to do everything in my power not to let this happen to me. I think about my daughter Sofia. I can't do this to her either. I know if this happens, it will ruin me and I need to be strong for her and be there to watch her grow up.
At this point he has undone my pants and is now in the process of unzipping his own. I think to myself 'oh hell no, this is not going to happen' and wait for a window of opportunity to change the control. Once I see my window I lift my knee up and get him right where it counts. He falls backwards on the ground clutching onto his penis. He's crying like a little girl and yelling and screaming at me now.
"You are going to regret that move BITCH"
He gets me back onto my back and climbs on top of me and starts taking swings with his fists, connecting where ever they land on my body. At this point I'm sure I'm going to blackout from all the pain I'm in. I think I hear a car coming but I could be dreaming it all up right now.
"I will see you again bitch and I will be collecting that reward"
"HEY, get off of her, I'm calling the police!" I hear someone yelling at him.
I must have blacked out because the next thing I know I can feel a hand touching me and I flinch away from it, even though it feels softer than the previous time he's touched me
"It's okay miss, I'm not going to hurt you. I think we scared him away. He got in his truck and sped out of here. I have a couple of friends with me and one of them left to go get help"
I start crying uncontrollably and my whole body aches. The woman keeps trying to talk to me to calm me down but it's not working. That asshole has just taken a piece of me I will never get back.
"Hey Alice, Jennifer went for help, she said she should be right back, we are not far out of cell service"
"Okay, thanks Andy. We have to get this woman to a hospital, she's been beat up pretty bad and it looks like he may have raped her."
"Jennifer has a blanket in the car we can cover her up with, once she gets back"
I reach out and grab her hand and give it a little squeeze and hang on for dear life. I think this woman and her friends just saved my life.
"It will be okay miss. We are getting help out here for you."
"P-Pl-Please don't leave me"
"I won't. I'll stay right here with you"
I can hear a car pull up and I flinch a little bit thinking he has come back for me. This woman, I think I heard someone call her Alice must have noticed my flinching.
"It's okay, that's my friend Jennifer, she went to get help"
"Jennifer, do you have a blanket in the car somewhere? We can't leave her like this. We need to at least cover her up a little. No one should be laid out on the road like this poor woman."
I can faintly hear sirens in the back ground and they sound like they are getting closer. That is the last thing I remember.
A/N: Sorry this Chapter is a little short, they will get longer though
